Constant cutting speed

This option is available ONLY for ball nose tool

Constant cutting speed : RPM  and F  are fixed.

Constant cutting speed : RPM and F are updated according to the contact point of the ball with the part. In that case, the feed rate per tooth and the cutting speed are constant.

On a vertical face, TopSolid'Cam uses the values defined by the user

On a face which is not vertical,

RPM= 1000 * Vc / (PI* Tool diameter at the contact point)     

F = feed rate per tooth * number of teeth  * RPM

In that case, RPM is limited by the value given by the user in the question "Maximum spindle speed"
